We spent three nights in a rental house in Silverthorne enjoying the spacious accomodations! (Our two bedroom apartment, wonderful as it is, just seems to get a little cramped with 6 more people in it day in and day out!)
We played lots of this! Dad is still a pool king!
Derek
These silly boys are full of spunk, that's for sure!
Loved being with my sis again! And having some good mom-daughter chat time with my mom!
Breakfast, can you tell? Sleeeeeeeepy much Joel and Derek?!?!
Peek-a-boo! Never been in a house with so many levels! We counted 7 levels and 10 flights of stairs. Pretty architecturally, but not very practical!
Dan showing off his perfectly seared steak!
So good to be together again! :)
La kitchen
The Lighthouse...
"Hurry and take the picture before that car comes!"
Windy day of disc golf! But we got to see a bald eagle!!!
This little man actually had quite the arm for a little guy!
Ticket to RIDE! (thanks Fred and Jodi for letting us borrow it!)
Thanks Dad and Mom for the wonderful get-away! We enjoyed it SO much!!!
One day, it turned out that Alisha had plans with some friends she knows, and Dad and all the boys but Joel were out doing man things, so mom helped me freeze peaches! Thanks Mom! (Joel was the photographer.)
This little one continues to amaze me. I think it has to do with me moving away when he was so young. It's like having a nephew or something! He's a cutie!
And....we took a walk!
Wednesday we (minus Dan who was at school) went to Eldorado State Park!
Alisha, the photographer!
Or the heel clicker!
We spotted some rock climbers!
The brothers. Brett, I sure missed you! Our family will never be the same without you!
Then we went downtown to hang out with Dan and have some dinner!
Riding the bear at REI.
Thursday morning Dan didn't have to go into work until 11 so we met some family at Mimi's for brunch!
Herb, Rovene, and John Geyer
I was able to get some big sister time in with the little bros. As soon as I got done reading "Make Way for the Ducklings" Joel insisted I read it again. Love these little guys!
All too soon the week was over and they all had to go...We love you all so much and can't wait to see you in a few weeks!

PS: We want to thank everyone who has prayed for my cousin Sandra! We are praising God that she and her unborn baby are doing fine and that she is going to be released today! God is good!
Great pics! Thanks for sharing. Looks like you had a great time together. The pics in the rental house remind me of a year ago in TN. Love ya! Joy<><
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing to get to spend so much time with your family! :D Looks like you enjoyed the time!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a great time with your family- I know you were really looking forward to them. I'm really happy to hear that your cousin is doing ok- we've been praying for her! Now that you're big plans for this fall are over, maybe you need to take a relaxing trip on back to the midwest to come visit us!! :)
